Even though Pedders tests all of our products on the track, the emphasis for our parts, when we look at all spectrums, performance, comfort, noise abatement, durability, we are focused for serious aggressive street applications, that just happen to work on a Track as well. thanks mike dms |

make sure you post about the axles. This is a very serious weakness on the Camaro. That will help a lot of poeple. I will tell you, and I am being sincere, you eliminate the slop in the back end by doing our systems, and you will be putting down a whole lot more torque. So it is important for all to make sure they are practicing good torque management ad are prepared. the OEM suspension sucks up a lot of torque. thanks mike dms |

Just like a Camaro isn't a G8 or a GTO which you've posted a ton of skid pad info for..... In fact the G8 is a completely different animal compared to the Camaro and the GTO is even further... Another thing we differ on is changing the wheels and tires; that is far from a direct comparison. Tires will make a huge difference but we aren't tire manufactures. What does your suspension do alone? I think for the customer that is what is important. I commend you for working on the GM deal. There is certainly more involved there than having the best products; a lot of politics for sure. I've been involved in the Automotive aftermarket my entire life and I know how all of that works. Kind regards, |

Keep us all posted on the HD axles. We'll send a lot of customers your direction! We also have our Engine Mounts, Trans Mount, Solid Sub-frame bushings and Diff bushing to help keep everything where it should be. They will prevent a lot of breakage as well. Kind regards, |

This is a custom "one off" set being made for me (I'm just a car guy, not a car business) but I bet the manufacturer would be happy to know that there is a demand/pipeline for them to do it. Take Care, Bruce |

We have tons of time invested in the G8 and had no issues in making one that would out perform a Z06 on an open track with only 275 tires.. This gave us a lot of insight on the Camaro with the shorter wheel base, massive body role and understeer. So of all the vehicle combos, the G8 is the most appropriate vehicle to compare. Have a great weekend! mike dms |

ECS C5 Vert 1.2 60ft!!!!
I want to say congrats to Doug and the ECS crew for laying down a 1.28 sec. 60ft!!!! The car ran an 8.70 ET at 157 mph!!!!! This is the first IRS Vette into the 1.2 60ft range and it was done with our suspension and drivetrain components!
HERE is the thread on Corvette forum! Kind regards, Last edited by PfadtRacing; 09-04-2009 at 02:50 PM. |

You keep saying you'll beat a Z06. What was done to the Z06 and what was done to the G8? Was the same driver driving each car? I could beat a lot of Z06's in a Miata if the Z06 driver was a beginner. We've got a Z06 and I'll bring it out if you want to run it against your G8. We'll even run on the Run flats. Just name the place. Kind regards, |

I understand; this will be a worth while upgrade for the guys making Big HP running sticky tires. Have a great weekend and we'll talk to you soon! Kind regards, |

The Z06 target is specifically the goal because chatting with 100s and 100s of Camaro owners and potential owners, they make the comparison question to us and have asked us to compare what it can do. Now I have been in a stock Z06, but with upgraded pads, at Laguna with a professional driver, and I was pretty impressed, considering it had 3500 miles on it and was driven 2 months after taking it off the show room. So I have serious respect for the Vettes and what they can do. I have not had the pleasure to drive a ZR1. but talking to some of our dealers who also specialize in Vettes, they are impressed but know that they still leave a lot on the table. So if we can make a Camaro at $50K or so, that can be competitive to a Z06 and/or a ZR1, that would be a good thing for both of us. many Camaro guys have bought or will buy a Camaro instead of the Vette for many reasons other than $$$ So to give them a great, reliable experience, and a unique vehicle considerably cheaper than a Z06, would be a great thing for this community don't you think? Have a great weekend mike dms |

when saying the Axels... you both reffering to the 2 rear half shafts correct?
Also, Question for Pfadt.... The Pfadt Carbon Fiber Drive Shaft Assembly, will there be one available for the Camaro ? I love Pedders suspension.... but the website confuses me as to what products are actually available.
